After Action Report

The Bobcats pulled away from the Wizards 140-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats steamroller is in full effect right now; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
